    There probably exists a parallel universe where Russian troops are sitting in Coalition FOBs in Iraq alongside American troops, and nobody is shredding them for foreign actions

    If I remember correctly, Putin offered George W. Bush search and rescue missions for the war on terror, but wasn’t ready to commit troops. Ukraine however, committed 5000 troops to the NATO coalition in Iraq. That’s how long Ukraine has been courting NATO for nothing in return.
